Repeal the Democrat nightmare, and let free enterprise have a chance to work it out. Get rid of Obamacare. Repeal, and don’t replace it with any government period.

Not happy. Looks like taxes have become charity.

I don’t understand. So they are saying they will rip nearly $10,000 dollars out of my hands for earning $200,000?

On top of already being the highest tax bracket?

WTF?

Look, it’s bad enough but this is a failure to repeal taxes.

It is not a tax hike.

Ripping $231 billion out of the private sector economy is pure B.S.

Address it for what it is.

You're just noticing? Our tax code has been used for wealth redistribution my entire life but never as blatantly as now.

BIG surprise, GOP are spineless wimps..they have ALL the power and are still cowering to Democrats who have ZERO power..the issue here is that many in the GOP Establishment are for single payer, they just won’t say it out loud

It’s amazing that every time the Republicans are in the majority, they find a way to screw it up.

CSPAN aired that press conference by some Republican Senators. It was informative. They expressed that they get it that folks back home are fed up that nothing has been improved and there seemed to be more interested in protecting insurance company profits than in saving the average guy from being destroyed financially by "health care".

So, maybe the only way out is to cut back on anything that is advantageous to high-income people. They should've done it right as soon as President Trump took office and repealed the Obamacare mandate.

The GOPe continues to try and commit suicide. The survivors will try and become the Democrat auxiliaries.

This sounds like approval to you?
